I love a good thriller every now and then so when I was approached by OrangeSky Audio to listen to Savage Row by Britney King I jumped at the chance.<\/span>  <\/span>It has all the suspense and excitement that I want in a thriller combined with all the insight of a Women\u2019s Fiction read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He remembers her very well – after all, she sat on the jury that found him guilty.  <\/span>She\u2019s all he\u2019s been thinking about these past ten years and so for Jack it\u2019s time for revenge.  <\/span>As Mooney begins his crusade of terrorizing Amy and her family, the police don\u2019t seem to be able to offer much.  <\/span>Will Amy be able to outwit him before it\u2019s too late and she loses everything?<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Review<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

I enjoyed this book, my first for this author, which kept me engaged throughout.  <\/span>There are several other characters on the periphery of the story who keep you guessing if all the chaos surrounding Amy is solely due to Mooney. The book is a shorter one at around 250 pages, but you\u2019d never know it because so much happens during the course of the book.  <\/span>The characters are well developed and interesting.  <\/span>Savage Row has some violent scenes including an incident involving the family dog, so readers should be aware of this going into the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audiobook Review<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

I listened to the audiobook format of Savage Row which was narrated by Laura Jennings, who really gives a fantastic performance.  <\/span>I felt as though she was almost whispering at times –  <\/span>accounting for what had happened so as not to be overheard which provided an interesting layer to the book.  <\/span>Her voice was clear and expressive and really held my interest.  <\/span>I listened to the book at my usual 1.25x speed which I found to be comfortable.  <\/span>I encourage those who enjoy audiobooks to choose this format.<\/span><\/p>\n
